Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for coming on this epic journey with me to bring this unique new album and book to life.

Here’s the ‘in a nut shell’ backstory of the project:

In August 2016 I shirked trains, planes and automobiles as means of touring my then new album in favour of a bicycle. I travelled 1,154 miles down the Pacific Coast Highway, from Portland to LA, carrying my whole world in four small pannier bags, including my ukulele and loop pedal. Pushing through challenge and triumph while traversing the coast with only my body and two thin wheels propelling me forward, what transpired was a concert tour made richer by the beautiful encounters, struggles and challenges I faced and overcame. I called this journey “The Great Song Cycle”.

That tour changed my life and perspective in ways that I am still trying to fathom. Since I arrived at my final destination, the Santa Monica Pier, on September 6 2016, I have spent every day of the last two years distilling it in ways I know best how to -in song and written word…. all the better for sharing it with YOU!!

THE ALBUM: I have written a album length, through composed piece, consisting of story-songs woven together with instrumental and vocal soundscapes, upon which I narrate chapters of the journey.

THE BOOK: In true Bill Bryson, Dervla Murphey and Laurie Lee style, I bring the reader deep into every aspect of the journey, telling stories from the magic of the Red Wood Trees, to cautionary tales of a father who gave his 5 year old son whiskey on a camping trip, to surreal friendships such that with an inanimate fairground statue named ‘Rex The Traveling Dog’, or the mysterious, sapphire-blue-eyed wanderer I encountered every few days. All the way to the “Pure Zone” – the name given by a kind stranger I met en route to describe the absoluteness of the peace, presence, joy and solitude I felt on the road.

Completing this project feels even more epic than the bike tour in itself, but I am excited to be able to encapsulate such a inspirational time, with which I hope I can then, in turn, inspire. It’s all part of the cycle, right?

This is a BUILD FROM SCRATCH campaign…. meaning, nothing has yet been recorded. That’s right – you get to be a part of this from the very BEGINNING!!!

By becoming a Pledger today you get to experience behind the scenes of what goes in to creating an album, from writing the songs, editing the book, choosing the artwork, and so much more. I will invite you into the recording sessions with live-feed video, and in the store you could even choose to actually be there in the studio with us.

This PledgeMusic Campaign is not only to help towards the costs of making this project (studio, engineer, artwork, publicity, distribution, mixing, mastering, publishing, etc etc) but to bring you, my wonderful fans, into my world and actually play a direct part in this piece.

Check out what amazing exclusives you can get in the STORE!

Thank you for your support, and here’s to keeping original music alive!

If you are an avid, or even amateur cyclist, I would love to go on a bicycle jaunt with you. The best way to experience the outdoors is by bicycle. I will bring delicious snacks, and we will conclude our journey with cold beer.

Signed CD and Signed Book

You can enjoy the audio soundscapes and stories told in poetic verse and song, while simultaneously cozying up with the book. What could be better?

For those of you who still own CD players, I will be making a small run of ECO-FRIENDLY CDs, using recycled packaging.
Then, I will personally sign it and seal with a kiss.

This is my debut book, and I am so excited to share it with you. It will include illustrations from the road, as well as the full, in depth stories of my daily encounters, struggles and triumphs of cycling the west coast of America.

Buddhist Prayer Flags I was given on the road

All gone!

When I was in Carmel-by-the-Sea I stayed with a most incredible gentleman named Scott. His house was strewn with Buddhist Prayer Flags he had collected from years living in Nepal. He took me in for two nights, regaled me with tales of his life in the Himalayan mountains. Then, on my departure he told me to choose some prayer flags from his collection to take with me as a talisman of luck, strength and courage.

I want to share this same strength, luck and courage with you.
